'Were in jest': Biden campaign downplays 'you ain't black' comment
Washington Examiner ^ | May 22, 2020 | Emily Larsen

Joe Biden's presidential campaign addressed uproar about his remark that those who vote for President Trump are not black by saying it was just a joke.

"The comments made at the end of the Breakfast Club interview were in jest, but let’s be clear about what the VP was saying: he was making the distinction that he would put his record with the African American community up against Trump’s any day. Period," senior adviser Symone Sanders said in a tweet on Friday.

Dems continue to put Blacks in a box, try to define them, issue Black membership ID cards and rules of behavior. Same old plantation politics, be a good little Black and vote Democratic.....
............
Who put Uncle Mumbles in charge of Black thinking? Good old patriarchal Dems...........We’ll show you Blacks how to think.
..............
Where does Joe get off expecting all Blacks to think alike? Joe is revealing what he and lot of Dems think........That Dems can expect Blacks to vote Dem and the Dems don’t have to make an effort to get their vote.
.............
Old pols like Joe are the worst kind of racists, because they come at Blacks acting like they are their only friends, and that they know what’s best for Blacks.

There’s a “black twitter?”

Yea, this. I had no idea Twitter segregated their service. Is it separate but equal?

What Joe means is that he’s going to beat the Joe Biden that’s beating Joe Biden, and therefore win. It’s a 3 dimensionality thing.

Damn it Joe. You are close to blowing your nomination. I don’t want the party to dump you because I think Trump will destroy you.

It means he's going to treat his body like an amusement park.

I actually think it was in jest, but if Republicans are going to be fired (or investigated for three years) every time they make a joke, turnabout is fair play.

Joe needs a tank to drive and a blue bunny suit to drive it in.

Uh, Joe, you gave a lot of empty speeches for 50 years that did nothing for anyone except you. Trump actually did something for Blacks as a group.

For sure. The rats have the entire media establishment on their side. It gives the rats a 10 to 15% advantage. Or in football terms it is a two touchdown advantage at the start of the game.

He also said, “I know a lot of weed smokers” to a black host.

Why walk it back? He has a point. 90% of them are going to vote for him anyway.
